Guest guest Posted July 15, 2000 Report Share Posted July 15, 2000 Hi Marie, I just went to Cochlear's web site. I looked in there catalog and they do have disks, I ordered a bag of 50 for 30.00 plus 3.00 for shipping. I won't know if there back ordered until they receive my email. I'll keep you posted.

Reply-to: NF2_Crewegroups To: NF2_Crewegroups Hi Marie, I tried to order the adhesive retainer disks from Cochlaer in May and was told they were back ordered. I asked again 2 weeks ago and they said they expect delivery from the manufacturer before the 1st of August. So 2 different reps there indicated they still make them. I am getting by after hitting Bradford and up for some. They had a big stash. :-) But yeah, I have used a small piece of scotch tape to hold the magnet on many times. I also wear a baseball cap on weekends a lot to save disks. The cap keeps it in place fairly effectively. I have to shave the area maybe once every 4 days, whenever the disk loses its stickiness from showering. The batteries I have last about one day. I'm always charging one overnight. You can use regular batteries in it. I prefer that for traveling instead of having to pack the charging gizmo. Hope this helps. -Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2000 Report Share Posted July 15, 2000 I went to Cochlear website and I ordered the discs also; if they were not available, you would think they would not be listed? We will see what happens!
